In the north of Jiankang, on the banks of Xuanwu Lake, in the Liyou Garden, and in the waterside pavilions, a music official was playing the piano.

The emperor, the crown prince and the ministers sat upright, listening to the ten songs of Wu singing played by the piano.

The ten songs of Wu Sheng are ten songs popular in Jiangnan, namely:

"Midnight", "The Pillar", "The Phoenix General", "The Sound of the Top", "Happy Listen", "Happy Listen Change", "The Stream of the Front", "A Zi", "Ding Dugu", "Round Fan Lang".

Back then, the late emperor and Wang Jinzhu, the musician in the palace, sorted out these ten songs, and now they play on piano, which has a unique flavor.

The piano is extremely rich. Those present, whether it is the emperor, the crown prince, the prince, the royal family and the court officials, can hear it like an old monk entering into meditation.

The piano that countless people participated in the improvement, although it is still a semi-finished product, has shown its unparalleled strength, just like a young phoenix singing, making everyone look forward to it.

After the ten songs of Wu Sheng ended, another musician played Western music songs on this piano.

Wu Sheng and Xi Song are both improved Qing Shang music, also known as "Qing Shang Xin Sheng". Wu Sheng is a song of Wu in Jiangnan. Xi Song is a song between Jing, Ying, Fan, and Deng (Jingxiang area).

When the late emperor was in Yongzhen (at the position of the governor of Yongzhou), he was very familiar with Xiqu. After ascending the throne, he innovated and wrote seven songs "Jiangnan Nong".

That is: "Jiangnan Song", "Dragon Flute Song", "Lotus Picking Song", "Picking Song of Phoenix Song", "Picking Rock Song", "Picking Girl Song", and "Chaoyun Song".

The musician now plays these seven songs on the piano. The same lyrics and different tunes make people feel refreshed when listening to them.

Then, he played the Western song "The Cry of Wu Ye".

"The Crying of Wu Ye" is a poem about Yuefu, which was originally a five-character and four-character sentence. When the emperor was in Qiandi, he changed it to a seven-character sentence.

It is about watching the moon alone in the lonely night, playing music alone with the shadow, but unfortunately sadness comes from it and can't help crying.

The piano sounded, and another person sang:

"Looking at the bright moon in the green grass, facing the gold shop in the Jade Hall."

"The singing strings and twisting are beginning to change, and I want to play the music with different music."

"No doubt the three feet of Chao Hanying, and say that Jiuziye shouted at each other."

"I feel ashamed to sleep alone and cry under the pillow, and I ask you to say that the city is covered with black flowers."

The singing is melancholy, and the piano sounds bring the lonely scene to life, making the emperor and ministers who listen to the music seem to be there.

After the song, the melancholy feeling still lingers. Xiao Gang recalled his work and felt that he played it on a piano. Compared with other instruments, the artistic conception was similar, but it was different, as if it became more and more cold.

Not bad, not bad!

Then, the musician played the Western song "Wuqiqu".

"Wuqiqu" is a poem about Yuefu, the Qing Dynasty Shangqu. The emperor wrote four poems during his time in Qiandi, which are seven-character and four-verses.

The first song starts:

"The lotus is made of silk? The Big Dipper is spreading across the sky and the moon is about to set."

"The Sangma crossing is blocking the Yellow River. I am afraid of storm."

It is a scene where a woman is waiting for her lover at the Yellow River Ferry, but she ends up breaking her appointment.

The sound of the piano is sometimes delicate, like a woman missing her lover, but it turns to a crispness. It is the sadness after breaking the appointment, and then whispering again, which is the increasingly passionate feeling of the woman.

The beauty of the piano sound conversion makes people really want to applaud.

Then there is the second song: "Woven into a screen, bent your knees with red lips and jade-faced lamps."

"Who can be ashamed of being shy as you look at each other?"

This song talks about the shy appearance of a passionate woman who is about to meet her lover, and the soft whisper of the piano, depicting this shy appearance with spring.

After the four songs, the ministers applauded, and Xiao Gang couldn't help but nodded frequently.

Next, it was "Wuqi Song", but it was adapted by the song "Xiao Yi, the King of Xiangdong, that year. Now the King of Xiangdong has re-composed the music based on the piano's sound characteristics.

There are six new songs, all of which are seven-character and four-verses. They use six scenes to describe the tactful feelings of a woman who is touching the scene and missing her forever.

After practicing, the musician uses different tones and playing speed, and singing, which sets off six scenes.

Xiao Yi listened with his ears and listened to his works interpreted through the piano to interpret different charm. He was quite excited and couldn't help but pat his knees with his hands.

The sound of the piano is sad and the singer's voice is sad, and the woman's longing is vivid. Before she knew it, the six songs were finished, but Xiao Yi felt that his feelings were still not over.

He suddenly felt that it was not good enough, because this was an adapted piece of music, not a piece of music born for the piano.

If you change the clothes that others wear, it is not as comfortable as the new clothes that are tailor-sewn.

Therefore, Xiao Yi believes that new music should be composed based on the sound quality characteristics of the piano itself. Such music is the real piano music.

And unprecedented piano music can definitely greatly relax your feelings, as Emperor Wu of Wei said, singing to express your aspirations.

After the performance of "New Voice of the Qing Shang Dynasty" was completed, there were ten other musicians playing the "drum and horn horizontally blowing song" with several other pianos in turn.

The horizontal song is also called "Praise" at the beginning, and it is played on horseback, which is the joy of the army.

The Northern Di all started to have fun immediately, so since the Han Dynasty, the Northern Dilemma has always been promoted.

Later it was divided into two parts. There were flutes and chesses as admiration, used in court meetings, and went out for ceremonial guards, and also as rewards, which were given to princes and ministers.

Those with drums and horns are blown horizontally, and are used in the army, and are also played on horseback.

During the late emperor, the musicians ordered the musicians to organize drums, horns and swaying and playing music. Now, there are no flutes, croaks, no drums, horns, and only pianos, and they are re-interpreted.

Ten music officials played thirty-six songs in total, including "Qiyu", "Langya King", "Princess Julu", "Purple Horse", "Huang Tansi", "Diyu Music", "Quelauli", "Murong Chui", "Longtou Flowing Water", etc.

Among these thirty-six songs, twenty-five songs have songs and sounds, and eleven songs have songs. No one sang them at this moment, and only the sound of the piano continues.

The sound of the piano is sometimes gentle, sometimes manic, sometimes whirling, sometimes driving straight in.

It made the audience feel as if they were in the scene, and they were in a camp of drums and horns, galloping on the battlefield at once, sometimes they held their spears and sometimes they drew their swords and roared.

It has the power of thousands of troops, and the willows by the Yanma River. The rich tone and changing tones of the piano are only fascinating.

I don’t know how long it took, but the musicians finished their performance, and the audience felt that they were not satisfied and savored the melody just now.

Xu Ling and Yu Xin, known as "Xu and Yu", were literary masters. At this moment, they were full of poetry and were eager to write.

The name of literature is not inferior to Xu and Yu's King Bao of Langya was also very interested and was already conceiving the "Piano Fu".

On the side, Xiao Fan, the king of Poyang who was working in Beijing, saw his brother-in-law Wang Bao's expression of joy, looked at the pianos again, and felt that there were fewer pianos in the royal palace.

So much so that the music-proficient guests had to queue up to use it, and the progress of improving the piano was slow.

He was also fascinated by the piano. He was often played by people. He felt refreshed and happy as he listened. He also took the time to re-compose the musical scores according to his preferences so that he could play them on the piano.

On the other side, the Crown Prince Xiao Daqi carefully thought about the newly drafted piano score, and his left hand kept playing his knees as if he was playing the piano, and the other princes were the same.

Xiao Gang saw that the piano performed extremely well and was in a good mood.

Although the piano still needs to be improved and cannot replace other instruments, this complex and magical instrument made him obsessed with it.

In addition to handling government affairs, Xiao Gang also thought about improving the piano himself. Whenever he had time, he would circle around the piano, audition, tuning, and setting the tune. The day would pass soon.

A month passed quickly.

Months passed quickly.

Having a piano with Xiao Gang feels full of energy every day. After the piano is perfect, he must make Yale look brand new. Such achievements will inevitably surpass his father.

The best is better than the best.

And all this, Li Li made an indelible contribution.

Although the piano presented by Li Li is a semi-finished product, it opens the door to a new world.

No, it is a pair of wings that allow Xiao Gang to spread his wings and fly high, fly over the continuous mountains, fly over the rivers, lakes and seas, fly over the dense forests, and fly over the vast sea of ​​clouds.

Such a wonderful instrument must be composed specifically for it, and he can gain a lot of inspiration, improvisation and relax his feelings when playing the piano every day.

Just as Emperor Wu of Wei said, sing to express one's aspirations.

Xiao Gang likes piano so much that he is obsessed with it. Thinking of Li Li's usual outstanding performance in recent years, he is even happier.

Li Li has made great contributions to the piano, so he must be rewarded.

As for Li Lishang's "Outline of Management of Xuzhou", he thought it was good.

You can do whatever you want to manage in Xuzhou. I’ll be sure of how to do it!
